French installation document corrections

Hi, here are a few corrections, as a diff -urP to what I think is the latest CVS, for the French installation manual. Please note that this should be applied within the documentation/ subdirectory, and will create a fr/fr.BUGS file which contains a few more bugs that I couldn't fix. I am not

Hi there, I'd been wrestling with an i386 box trying to boot it from the network and I wanted to share some of my experience and certain things that puzzled me. Now it seems that BOOTP is kind of obsolete and DHCP is bound to replace it sooner or later. In linux-2.2.18 I have been perfectly
